Exactly, unless a coach is an alum or has some direct connection to a school, they are all pretty much guns for hire and will leave for the next shiny toy that comes along. Here is Brian Baker's coaching resume:

Coaching Experience
2016-present: Mississippi State (Defensive Line)
2015: Covenant Christian Academy of Colleyville (Texas) (Assistant Coach/Mentor)
2014: Washington Redskins (Outside Linebackers)
2013: Cleveland Browns (Outside Linebackers)
2011-12: Dallas Cowboys (Defensive Line)
2009-10: Carolina Panthers (Defensive Line)
2006-08: St. Louis Rams (Defensive Line)
2004-05: Minnesota Vikings (Defensive Line)
2002-03: Minnesota Vikings (Linebackers)
2001: Minnesota Vikings (Defensive Line)
1997-2000: Detroit Lions (Defensive Line)
1996: San Diego Chargers (Defensive Line)
1995: Georgia Tech (Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers)
1987-94: Georgia Tech (Linebackers)
1986: Army (Fullbacks)
1985: Maryland (Graduate Assistant)
1984: Maryland (Student Assistant)

Does that look like a guy committed to coaching anywhere for very long? We pulled him off of the coaching trash heap at a TX HS to resurrect his career after the NFL no longer had any interest in him. If Young signs with Bama he should do so assuming that Baker will likely not be there when he is an upperclassmen.
